'I'm A Celebrity': Jake Quickenden, Melanie Sykes And Gemma Collins Heading To The Jungle?

Look Who's Heading To The Jungle...

The first celebrities heading to the jungle for this year's 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!' are 'X Factor' reject Jake Quickenden, TV host Melanie Sykes and 'TOWIE' star Gemma Collins, according to reports.

Jake - who was eliminated from 'X Factor' two weeks ago - becomes the first ever celeb to star in both ITV shows in the same year.

“ITV usually refrains from signing up reality stars unless they’re household names. But they’ve made a special exception for Jake.”

Also reportedly heading Down Under is 'Let's Do Lunch' presenter Melanie Sykes, who will be appearing after an eventful year.

After a whirlwind Twitter romance, she married her boyfriend Jack Cockings in May 2013 but just months later the cracks began to show, culminating in Mel being arrested after a bust up with her young hubby at their home. Mel has since filed for divorce.

Also looking forward to potentially chowing down on some kangaroo anus in the Bushtucker Trial is Gemma Collins.

The 33-year-old - who joined 'The Only Way Is Essex' in 2011 - will not be returning for the 2015 series as she tries to get her own TV show like former 'TOWIE' star Joey Essex did following his stint on 'I'm a Celebrity' last year.

"We're juggling things around but confident that we are going to get a great mix in time for the show."

This year's show kicks off on 16 November at 9pm on ITV.
